Hello Everyone, I've had a very busy day today getting ready for my Son's birthday tomorrow. I can't believe he will be 8 yrs old already!! He had a party with all his school friends last week, so tomorrow is more of a family day. The cake is made and just needs icing and I still have to wrap his pressies!So it's just a quick card to share with you today. I've used a LOTV stamp called 'Never too Old for a Hug'. I've coloured her with my promarkers. I added lots of glitter to her fairy wings and some liquid pearls to her headband.

The swirl die is from Joy!crafts and the flowers are a Memory Box die. The backing papers are from Nit Wits.
